Where are my types, I can't see without my types! PhD student @tuberlin.bsky.social https://ipv3.org Ask me about EGraphs, Compilers, GPU-Computing, and Rust SIGPLAN AV Member Opinions are those of your pet
I'm being spicy today, but kind of tired of epistemic generosity. I just want to make clear that some of us have tried figuring out what the hell is going on in 'alignment' research and the like, and have come away finding poor research design.

i think it's pretty rad that being a shitty person makes you worse at ai honestly. could never have predicted this. like a goddamn rpg mechanic where you have to be pure of heart
Hax0r LARPing is very popular
Fascinating ad to be getting today
Claude Code:
Which option would you like to go with?
1. [HIGHLY RECOMMENDED]
2. [BAD. DO NOT CHOOSE]
3. [AWFUL, EW]
me: *munching on chips* uhh 1 i guess? idk tho
cc: Excellent choice, sire. You are as resplendent as you are wise. I will proceed with the implementation forthwith.
Easily one of the top charts of all time
in a shocking twist of events, manjaro.org forgot to renew their ssl cert for the fourth(?) time
They have almost nothing to do with each other.
A neuron in a neural network and a neuron in a brain only resemble each other in the most abstract sense.
Biological neurons do not train via backpropagation and have no activation function.
My two rules to identify crazy people to avoid:
1. Pro-AI folks who mention AGI
2. Anti-AI folks who mention AGI

itβs wild that for all the titans in the fossil record, blue whales - who are with us right here and now - are, as far as we know, the largest animals that have ever lived
Need an angel to pierce the CS-Field and trigger the third impact (Market correction of tech company valuations)
People talk about CS having math envy but I think weβre seriously underestimating physics/chemistry/biology envy
Every time someone compares the number of neuron in a biological brain to that of a LLM I want to plant a tree and then burn down another tree out of frustration.
I want to start calling that specific kind of overconfident wrongness you find on hacker news βhuman slopβ
One thing we keep hearing about why LLMs can write code is that we have an objective function for determining the correctness of their output. We actually donβt! This bizarre belief is at the root of the problem with how these tools are being deployed.
I need to hear the Rivers Cuomo / Limp Bizkit collaboration.
I know it's out there somewhere
And then there are the papers that everyone cites just cause theyβre trying to woo reviewers with irrelevant theory.
Math envy motivated citation slop.

The BSI (German Federal Office for Information Security) recommending the brainpool curves and not even mentioning 25519 is genuinely unhinged.
PL is Tsundere for LLMs
Thatβs not enough, I want revolver dentition
OCaml is the C++ of functional languages
It's a great station, not complaining.
Ed Zitron is AI criticslop
I've been using it for years now but I still feel like I'm falling down an M. C. Escher painting whenever I have to transfer at Berlin Hbf.

You can ask for cheaper consumer GPUs without having a meltdown about datacenters as if they're ontologically evil.
I want one too but I don't shape all my beliefs on technology and politics around what's essentially a treat.
Convincing people that itβs actually pronounced ep-ih-TOHM in German is really fun, you should try it.
Why is the GStreamer API stupid typed?
How does using an i32 for a resolution make sense?!
